TROUBLESHOOTING
9.5 Finding breaks in the loop wire
Breaks in the loop wire are usually the result of unintentional physical damage to the wire such as when gardening with
a shovel. In countries with ground frost, also sharp stones that move in the ground can damage the wire. Breaks can
also be due to the wire being stretched excessively during installation.
Mowing the grass too low right after the installation can damage wire insulation. Certain damage to the insulation may
not cause disruptions until several weeks or months later.
A defective splicing of the loop wire can also lead to disruptions first several weeks after the splice was done. A faulty
splice can, for example, be the result of the original coupler not being pressed together hard enough with a pair of
pliers, or that a coupler of lower quality than the original coupler has been used. Please first check all known splices
before further troubleshooting is done.
A wire break can be located by gradually halving the distance of the loop where the break may have occurred until
there is only a very short section of the wire left.
The following method does not work if ECO mode is activated. Make sure first that ECO mode is turned off.
See 6.8
Settings on page 56.
1. Check that the indicator lamp in the charging
station flashes blue, which indicates a break in
the boundary loop.
See 9.3 Indicator lamp in the
charging station on page 73
.
2. Check that the boundary wire connections to the
charging station are properly connected and not
damaged. Check that the indicator lamp in the
charging station is still flashing blue.
3. Switch the connections between the guide wire
and
the boundary wire in the charging station.
a) Switch connection AL and G1.
If the indicator lamp is lit with a solid green light,
then the break is somewhere on the boundary
wire between AL and the point where the guide
wire is connected to the boundary wire (thick black
line in the illustration).
